Special Spot Review: theWAHMmagazine

To all fellow WAHMs out there - there's a magazine just for us!

Erika Geiss, founder and editor of theWAHMmagazine, brings to work-at-home moms (and dads too!) a fabulous content-driven digital magazine that addresses all the challenges and triumphs of working from home.

I was very fortunate to get a sneak peek at the magazine's second issue. Not only does it cover the nitty gritty issues pertaining to business management, but it also covers other important issues such as parenting, health and fitness, relationships, leisure, humor (a must-have to stay sane in our WAHM lives!), time management, real-life WAHM stories and more.



The digital format took a little time to get used to, but once I got the handle of zooming in and out and scrolling up and down each page, I was flipping those pages as though they were from a physical magazine. I like that the magazine is eco-friendly, saving paper AND helping reduce clutter, a plus that has quickly won me over!

Articles range from the informative, "Insuring Your Home-Based Business" (from The Nitty Gritty feature), to the short laughs such as "8 Reasons We Hate Working from Home" (from The Grab Bag). The magazine flows well, and it doesn't overwhelm you with "The Nitty Gritty" articles all at once. It ebbs and flows from parenting to relationship issues to health and fitness then back to "The Nitty Gritty" articles. I especially like the featured articles on "Stories from the Trenches," where WAHMs give first-person accounts of what it's really like to work from home such as dealing with Work-at-home Mom Guilt. The parenting feature introduces you to life as a single WAHM, juggling free-lance writing and home-schooling, and working from home with a special needs child. Then the magazine treats you to some articles on Relaxation and Rejuvenation, offering professional photography and gardening tips and "Finding Peace in the Chaos."

theWAHMmagazine is smart, engaging, useful, entertaining and relevant to the aspects of WAHM life. So how can you get theWAHMmagazine? Simply subscribe online to get the magazine and full access to WAHM newsletters, podcasts, forums and more! The subscription fee is not bad, only $24-a year for 6 bi-monthly issues.
